The book is an account of his trip on Mescaline, the insights he experienced, and the esthetic beauty he saw. Published in 1954, The Doors of Perception is about Aldous Huxley’s first psychedelic experience. His interest in philosophical mysticism and universalism led him to produce The Perennial Philosophy, which illustrates the similarities between Western and Eastern mysticism, and The Doors of Perception, which explores his psychedelic experience with mescaline. The characters take a drug called Soma, which allows them to break from reality. Brave New World is about using mind-altering drugs. Intrigued by how we perceive things, he famously wrote Brave New World, a dystopian vision of society, in 1932. He later wrote Antic Hay (1923), which satirizes modern society’s preoccupation with sex, business, and consumerism.
Huxley’s first novel was Crome Yellow (1921), an exposition of the futility of the lifestyle of many privileged intellectuals in the 1920s. He wrote almost 50 books and was nominated for nine Nobel Prizes in Literature. He studied English literature at Oxford University. Aldous Huxley was a post-war intellectual elite born in 1894.
